Basic 10-week Canvas Course Template

We have developed a basic 10-week Canvas course template to help you get started designing your teaching content in Canvas. The template includes instructions to help you build your course and a module designed to help orient students to learning in an online, hybrid or face-to-face course.

Each weekly module includes:

  • A blank overview page (with space for introductory text, learning outcomes, and weekly schedule)
  • A blank page for a video lecture/session (with instructions on how to upload a video)
  • A blank discussion forum (with directions for how to insert the discussion prompt)
  • A blank quiz/test (with instructions on how to insert questions)

Any of these items can be deleted if they don’t fit with your vision, but they are there, if you need them.
